A Length of Shibori Dyed Cotton: Chrysanthemum Chain

early to mid twentieth century
26 3/4" x 13", 68 cm x 33 cm

This is a length of indigo dyed cotton shibori that was produced in Arimatsu, one of the towns in Aichi prefecture that was a leading producer and innovator in the production of shibori. 

The pattern shows a design of diagonally-placed square tie dyed shibori, some of the squares are blank and some are mottled from tie dye.

The shibori is dyed onto a length of commercially loomed, fairly lightweight cotton and is in good, used condition. 

Wonderful to look at!
